add distress or texture to video
I see a lot of video that looks distressed or dirty. I want to try to add texture to my video. How is this accomplished? Do i use photographs that have texture and convert them to b/w and them “move” them around the screen? Just looking for inspiration. I know you can buy this effect from vendors, but i was wanting to see if there was a way to create it myself.

Greetings!
Yea, I didn’t want to spend $$$ on plug-ins…are you looking for a static texture or animated one? If its static, then just create your texture in Photoshop, mask it, adjust the transfer mode to whatever you need, and parent it to your layer you wish to apply the texture.
Now, if it is animated, the way I cheated this effect on a title sequence I designed was…
1) Create a New Solid.
2) Apply Noise HLS effect.
3) Adjust settings to your desire.
4) Animate the Noise Phase of the plug-in to animate the noise.
5) Apply the Threshold effect and crank it up (I use 175 for mine).
6) Finally, stretch the layer in whatever direction you want (vertical or horizaontal) to greater than 2000%.I hope I made sense, and I hope it helps!
Best of luck!
Cheers!
